the French Army's EBRC Jaguar is a
0:13
revolutionary combat reconnaissance
0:15
vehicle designed to replace older models
0:18
and redefine modern warfare this
0:21
state-of-the-art armored vehicle
0:23
combines advanced technology superior
0:26
mobility and unmatched firepower making
0:29
it a cornerstone of France's military
0:31
modernization efforts the six-wheel
0:34
armored fighting vehicle developed and
0:36
manufactured by Kins France Arcus and
0:40
Thalis it is intended to succeed three
0:43
reconnaissance and or or fire support
0:45
vehicles in French service the
0:49
MX10RC 90 Saggy and VAB hot the Jaguar
0:53
is a component of the French Scorpion
0:59
program in today's fast evolving
1:02
battlefield reconnaissance vehicles like
1:04
the EBRC Jaguar play a critical role in
1:08
gathering intelligence and engaging
1:11
threats unlike traditional armored
1:13
vehicles the Jaguar is specifically
1:16
engineered for high-speed reconnaissance
1:18
missions while maintaining the ability
1:20
to neutralize enemy targets the main
1:23
mission is to get as close as possible
1:26
to the enemy to gather intelligence
1:28
without being detected this requires it
1:30
to be mobile discreet agile well
1:34
protected wellarmed and able to see far
1:37
day and night the vehicle has the
1:40
architecture of a tank with a driver at
1:43
the front turret in the middle rearwheel
1:46
drive except that it is wheeled instead
1:57
tracked the EBRC Jaguar to share 70% of
2:01
its components with the Vieber Griffin t
2:03
to save on development production and
2:07
maintenance costs as well as to
2:09
facilitate logistics this is reflected
2:12
by the rather cheap average unit cost of
2:14
the Griffin and thereby the servo for
2:17
vehicles with their capabilities
2:19
weighing approximately 25 tons the EBRC
2:23
Jaguar is powered by a Renault Dick size
2:26
7490 horsepowers diesel engine giving it
2:29
an impressive powertoweight ratio of 20h

4:00
standout features of the EBRC Jaguar is
4:04
its cuttingedge reconnaissance
4:06
technology behind the armor some 20
4:09
sensors serve as the crew's eyes and
4:11

4:14
cameras and other electronic devices and
4:16
systems are fed into the scorpion bubble
4:19
via the six cyst meet information due

4:24
to pax's inertial measurement unit

4:42
control system the Jaguar is also
4:45
equipped with the Anter's electronic
4:47
system developed by Thales for close
4:50
situational awareness and which also
4:52
doubles as a laser warning receiver
5:00
the French army has placed significant
5:02
emphasis on integrating unmanned aerial
5:05
vehicles UAVS into its operations
5:09
2025 the EBRC Jaguar works seamlessly
5:12
with these drone systems extending its
5:15
reconnaissance reach and enhancing
5:17
situational awareness by combining
5:20
groundbased and aerial surveillance the
5:23
Jaguar becomes a central node in
5:25
France's network centric warfare
6:00
mobility is a key strength of the EBRC
6:03
Jaguar featuring a seven-speed automatic
6:06
gearbox independent running gears rear

kmh forwards or backwards on very steep
6:26
slopes its 50 L fuel tank has a range of
6:30
up to 800 km equipped with a variable
6:34
ground clearance it benefits from great
6:36
crossing capacity on all types of
6:39
terrain the vehicle is surprisingly
6:42
quiet despite being equipped with Volvo
6:44
D11 500 horsepower six-cylinder inline
6:48
turbo diesel engine its agility allows
6:51
it to perform reconnaissance deep behind

Stanag level 4 through the installation
7:41
of a modular armor package the vehicle's
7:44
layout minimizes fatigue during long
7:46
missions ensuring that operators remain

7:59
threats the introduction of the EBRC
8:02
Jaguar marks the phasing out of older
8:04
reconnaissance vehicles in the French
8:06
Army fleet by replacing the AMX 10RC Ark
8:11
90 Saggy and VAB Hawk the Jaguar brings
8:15
enhanced capabilities in terms of
8:17
firepower mobility and technology this
8:21
transition is part of the broader
8:23
Scorpion modernization program led by
8:25
General Pierre Schill which aims to
8:28
transform the French army into a more
8:30
agile and lethal force the Jaguar is a
8:34
component of the French Scorpion program
8:37
it is designed for armored
8:39
reconnaissance as well as for combat in
8:41
complex environments such as urban and
8:44
mountainous areas 238 units are expected
8:47
to be delivered to the French army by
8:50
2030 and all 300 vehicles planned by
8:54
2035 they will equip seven of its
8:59
regiments as one of Europe's most
9:01
advanced combat vehicles the EBRC Jaguar
9:05
sets new standards for reconnaissance
9:08
and combat platforms worldwide
9:11
its success could inspire other nations
9:13
to adopt similar technologies
9:15
influencing the future of armored
9:17
vehicle development globally moreover
9:20
the Jaguar's integration into NATO
9:23
operations highlights its potential to
9:25
strengthen international military
9:27
cooperation in October 2018 the Belgian
9:31
government formalized the plan to
9:33
purchase 60 EBRC Jaguar and 382 Vber
9:40
billion the vehicles will replace the
9:43
Belgian Army's Piranha IIIC armored
9:46
personnel carriers and Dingo 2 infantry
9:49
mobility vehicles the deal includes
9:52
spare parts and secure communications
